Chapter 863: Woman’s Revenge

The aftermath of Lam Fung's acquisition of 14.99% of Khoo Teck Puat's shares in Standard Chartered Bank has not yet subsided. The Board of Directors of Standard Chartered Bank has invited Lam Fung to attend the Standard Chartered Bank Board of Directors meeting on September 1. This is an exciting news for all Chinese people.

news.

This has never happened before for a Chinese to acquire a British bank. Especially since the reform and opening up, in order to attract foreign investment, many domestic companies have sought mergers with foreign capital, hoping to seek development under the great wave of reform. However,

For more than 20 years of reform and opening up, the Chinese people have only seen that state-owned enterprises are constantly being invaded by foreign capital. State-owned brands that have finally been developed are acquired by foreign capital and then abandoned. National brands have become victims of the "iron heel" of foreign-funded enterprises. The ideal help

The development and growth of foreign capital is an unprecedented situation. Faced with this situation, the Chinese people are angry and sad for their misfortune.

Although many domestic companies have since been thinking about acquiring foreign companies, they have either done it with thunder or without rain, or they have acquired unnecessary departments or businesses of foreign companies at a high price. There has never been a precedent for acquiring a truly large foreign multinational company, especially in the financial industry.

, has been maintained by European and American companies, and there is no place for Chinese companies. But unexpectedly, Lin Feng said no to this now, and with lightning speed, he acquired 14.99% of Qiu Deba's hands.

Standard Chartered Bank has become the largest shareholder of this British bank with a century-old history. This is really exciting for all people in the country.

There was a burst of jubilation across the country, believing that this was a milestone for China to truly become prosperous and powerful and begin to fight against the invasion of foreign companies. It was believed that Lin Feng's move would truly kick off the merger and acquisition of overseas companies by state-owned enterprises. Although Lin Feng only became Standard Chartered Bank

The largest shareholder has yet to sit on the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank and become a truly powerful executive director. But this is already a step forward for the Chinese people. Many netizens even shouted for Lam Feng to acquire Standard Chartered Bank and become the first controlling shareholder.

Banks, Chinese people who own private banks.

In response to the expectations and heated discussions of domestic netizens, many so-called experts in the country once again jumped out to analyze. After a final discussion, many experts determined that although Lin Fenggui is the world's richest man, he owns 14.99% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and has become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank.

But in front of the united British power of Standard Chartered Bank, it can only surrender. At most, it can be an ordinary executive director with a sinecure in charge of some unimportant departments.

After all, Lin Feng is Chinese, and Standard Chartered Bank is a British-owned bank, especially with the right to issue Hong Kong dollars. The British side will never allow it to be supervised by a Chinese. Absolutely not! The reason why the British government was so happy back then

The reason for handing over Hong Kong is that Hong Kong's economy has actually always been under the control of the British. Its Hong Kong dollar issuance rights mainly belong to Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC, and these two banks are British-owned banks. As long as the Hong Kong dollar is controlled,

To a certain extent, it has grasped the financial lifeline of Hong Kong.

What's more, in the eyes of many domestic experts, Lam Feng acquired Standard Chartered Bank to facilitate company financing and raise funds. Although Lam Feng has an excellent relationship with ICBC and jointly developed domestic personal low-limit credit cards (all products under "Dingdang.com"),

As long as you are a customer of "Dingdang.com" and have reached a certain level of credit, you can purchase by installment payment). However, Lin Feng's industry has now gone abroad and spread all over Southeast Asia. If you want to raise funds, it will naturally be inconvenient to go through the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The acquisition will definitely

Standard Chartered Bank shares, becoming the major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, will make future financing more flexible, especially foreign banks will have more freedom in financing, and will not have to worry about some privacy issues.

Regarding this extremely rigorous and accurate analysis by many experts, many excited netizens felt as if someone had poured cold water on them, and they couldn't be happy anymore. They originally expected Lin Feng to own Standard Chartered Bank and regain half of the Hong Kong dollar issuance.

It seems impossible at present to make Hong Kong truly and completely belong to China.

There was an outcry across the country, and there were suddenly fewer expectations for Lam Feng's trip to the Board of Directors of Standard Chartered Bank on September 1.

At this time, Ma Huateng was receiving a distinguished guest at Tencent's headquarters in Shenzhen.

"Director Liu, should you think about it more?" Ma Huateng frowned at the bejeweled lady in front of him. This lady is one of the directors of the South African mih group and holds 11.2% of the shares of the South African mih group.

, and the South African MIH Group holds 35.71% of Tencent's shares and is Tencent's largest shareholder. And because the director Liu in front of him owns South African MIH shares and is Chinese, he became one of the executive directors of the South African MIH Group in Tencent. It's just that

Due to a previous agreement between the two parties, the South African mih Group will not participate in the administrative management of Tencent.

But not participating does not mean that you cannot participate. The contract signed at the beginning was an intention contract, and Ma Huateng believed that as long as he did well, this contract would always be in effect. After all, South Africa's MHI is not a fool, and he will not let the company's performance flourish.

Under such circumstances, he suddenly intervened in the company's administrative management, disrupting the originally promising prospects. But who could have expected that today Director Liu suddenly came and proposed a brand new plan and asked Ma Huateng to implement it as soon as possible. This gave Ma Huateng a particularly headache.

Of course, this is not to say that this plan is not good, nor is it that this plan is bad. On the contrary, this plan is very operational and has great market prospects. But it has one drawback, and this is the only drawback, that is, this plan will

Completely offended - Lin Feng.

Yes, it means offending Lin Feng, who is now the world's richest man and the owner of 10% of Tencent's shares.

"Dr. Ma, you have to know that you are the chairman and founder of Tencent, and you are responsible for Tencent. I think this plan is very feasible. With Tencent's current market position in mainland China, as long as this plan is launched, it will definitely

It is very popular among users. I don’t know what you are hesitating about?” Ms. Liu snorted softly.

Ma Huateng looked helpless. How could he not hesitate? The plan proposed by Ms. Liu was to launch "Paipai.com" and compete with Lin Feng's "Dingdang.com" for "c2c" customer resources. Due to the current focus of "Dingdang.com"

It was placed on "b2c" and the personal information review of its merchants was too strict, which caused many individual merchants to complain. Moreover, "Dingdang.com" requires each merchant to pay a certain deposit to prevent individual merchants from committing fraud and other behaviors.

This move of "Dingdang.com" was originally to protect the rights and interests of consumers, but undoubtedly the threshold has been raised for those individual merchants, and it has also extended the capital turnover period of many individual merchants, which has invisibly increased costs.

This has made many individual merchants extremely dissatisfied and even complaining. At this time, if Tencent launches "Paipai.com", it will undoubtedly cater to the preferences of a large number of individual merchants. Coupled with Tencent's instant messaging market share in the mainland Chinese market,

Ma Huateng can predict that "Paipai.com" will rise rapidly and even replace "Dingdang.com" to become the largest personal trading platform in the future.

(“Dingdang.com” has transformed from a single “c2c” person-to-person transaction to a “b2c” merchant-to-individual transaction, so “Dingdang.com” can no longer be called a personal online trading platform in the strict sense.)

However, this will definitely anger Lin Feng. Based on Ma Huateng's understanding of Lin Feng, Lin Feng will never allow anyone or a company to provoke him. Whether it is for the company's interests or personal interests, Lin Feng will never

Will take action against it, and it will be an action to kill dissidents without mercy. Therefore, Ma Huateng is full of fear. Although he wants to develop Tencent, he must do so without offending Lin Feng, otherwise Lin Feng will

Once he takes revenge, Ma Huateng wonders if he can bear Lin Feng's anger.

"Dr. Ma, are you willing to be suppressed by Lin Feng forever? Tencent controls 98% of the domestic instant messaging market, with hundreds of millions of members. And with the growth of today's young people, in another ten years, the second

In ten years, I am afraid that more than half of the people in China will be using Tencent in the future. Chairman Ma, you are a smart person and you should know how much wealth this is. Are you willing to be always used by Lin Feng and just become Lin Feng?

A puppet of the wind!" Ms. Liu's tone was extremely harsh, picking on Ma Huateng's pain at every turn, which made Ma Huateng feel particularly uncomfortable and made him feel a little irritable for no reason.

"But..." Ma Huateng is still full of hesitation. He does want to develop Tencent, but offending Lin Feng is not what he wants, not to mention that the two parties are currently in a sweet cooperation period. Moreover, Tencent also relies on "second world" games.

Let "qq" begin to gradually go abroad and compete with icq and other communication tools abroad. These are the benefits of cooperation between both parties. If this relationship is shattered, Ma Huateng doesn't know what will happen.

"Dr. Ma, you should know that if Tencent wants to develop, it must expand into different fields. These fields are now involved by Lin Feng. Unless you don't want to develop Tencent anymore, you will definitely offend Lin Feng." Ms. Liu continued to lobby.

, "As a man, you should have the courage to conquer mountains and rivers. What's more, in this matter, Tencent is already in an invincible position. As long as QQ is still available and domestic netizens are still using QQ, Tencent will not fail."

Ma Huateng absolutely agrees with Ms. Liu. The reason why Tencent is different from other companies and has more advantages than other IT companies (including Lin Feng's "Second World") is that "qq" and the 100 million of "qq"

20 million registered users (more to come in the future), this is the unique capital Tencent has. And unlike the registered player accounts owned by other game companies, players can not play a game, but it is impossible not to use QQ.

If this battle is defeated, Tencent still has a way out. It will continue to be the leader of instant messaging and slowly accumulate strength to make a comeback. If it wins, it will ride on the wind and waves to expand new profit points for Tencent, and it can truly squeeze out all domestic players.

The big mountain on IT Company—Lin Feng’s “Second World”.

Of course, this is just a squeeze, because the "second world" also has resources that other domestic IT companies (including most IT companies in the world) do not have - "AMD" and "ATI", the most important on personal computers.

Two accessories. What Ma Huateng admires most about Lin Feng is the original merger and acquisition of "amd" and "ati" that have been in a state of serious losses. Although after two years of spending money on the "second world" and using his personal influence to "

"amd" and "ati" brought a large number of domestic orders, and "amd" and "ati" barely reached breakeven, which was not cost-effective in terms of profit ratio. But Ma Huateng still admired Lin Feng's move at that time. That's it.

One move put the "Second World" in an invincible position. After owning "amd" and "ati", as Lin Feng was Chinese, almost half of the computer orders in the Chinese mainland market became Lin Feng's "Second World"

What's in the bag. Although Intel has repeatedly protested against this obvious "local protectionism", it can only protest a little. Just like every time the United States wants to attack a certain country, the United Nations can only protest a little but cannot afford anything.

The actual effect is average.

Thinking of this, Ma Huateng was also moved. They are also undefeated companies. One has absolute technology and the other has absolute human resources. Why can the "Second World" be able to respond to a hundred people and lead the crowd, while Tencent of its own can only

Why not take the second place? He can become the richest man in the world, why can't he? Even if he can't become the richest man in the world, it would be good to double his wealth several times.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth! What’s more, princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind!

Ma Huateng's heart palpitated. Lin Feng's success stimulated all IT giants. Almost all domestic IT IT talents take Lin Feng as their goal and role model. No one does not want to succeed, especially now that they have the opportunity. The question is whether Ma Huateng is willing to take this step.

step.

Ms. Liu looked at Ma Huateng's uncertain face and remained silent. Some things need to be figured out individually, and no matter how much others say, it is useless. But this time, whether Ma Huateng agrees or not, she must deal with Lin Feng. Of course,

If Ma Huateng agrees, it would be great. The two parties can work together to discuss how to deal with Lin Feng's strength. If Ma Huateng does not cooperate, she will directly ask the MIH Group for authorization to impeach Ma Huateng. The MIH Group owns 35.71% of the shares.

As long as we acquire a few more shares on the market, we can overwhelm the shareholdings of Ma Huateng and others and gain decision-making power.
Chapter completed!
